Benjamin Moore

Carter Gray

CW-80

Carter Gray is a gray-taupe with balanced warm and cool undertones. Its LRV of 21.86 places it in the darker mid range, so it reads substantial on full walls. It suits studies, dining rooms, or cabinetry where a grounded neutral is needed.

Pair it with Benjamin Moore White Heron for trim and Raccoon Fur for deeper layering. Saybrook Sage or Van Courtland Blue add muted color without overpowering.
